Book your group for a private guided tour of this autumn’s major exhibition and trace the history and evolution of the Scandinavian Design movement for over 90 years.
For the first time, the relationship between Scandinavian and American design in the 20th century is the subject of an exhibition, Scandinavian Design & USA – People, Encounters and Ideas, 1890–1980. Through a uniquely curated set of artifacts drawn from collections in the United States and Scandinavia, visitors can learn about the trends that shaped the design aesthetic, identity and philosophy that we encounter to this day.
Among the topics examined are the significance of Scandinavian emigration and the large-scale marketing campaigns for Scandinavian Design in the United States in the 1950s. The exhibition also considers the role played by design as a tool of international diplomacy.
During this guided tour you will discover how transatlantic relationships between Scandinavia and the United States became central to cultural heritage on both sides of the pond.
